I usually like anthologies, but this anthology unfortunately didn't quite work for me.- A young adult anthology with a range of genres (romance, contemporary, and even horror!) with a common theme that they all take place between sunset and sunrise. - Thematically, I loved how the stories were centered on vulnerability, decisions, and the discovery that comes with night-time.- My favourite stories: Like Before by Maurene Goo (this was just so bittersweet and a refreshing take on friendship), Cre...

This was a really nice set of stories, all happening in the middle of the night, sometimes for a short time, sometimes all night long. I really liked the diversity of the stories, all different from one another, and also in terms of queerness, POC, disabilities or mental illness. A nice bunch of representation, not necessarily the main aspect of the story. I really liked the last two ones, by Julian Winters and Francesca Zappia

E-ARC Review - Thank you so much to NetGalley for this ARC!4.5⭐️“We’re all too focused being worried about what people think of us to spend time judging others, you know? So, like screw it. Be who you are.” - My new life motto, but also a quote from one of the several amazing stories included in this anthology.I had such a great time reading this glorious collection. It had a little bit of everything: romance, friendships, coming of age stories, mysteries, superheroes, you name it! But the best

4.5 stars!This was a fantastic collection with very few duds for me. All taking place from sunset to sunrise... what a fun concept that left the authors with a LOT of wiggle room. For anthologies, I love to do a short breakdown for each story with individual star ratings. They're listed below!Also, as a note, I am in love with the diversity in topics, sexuality, gender, race, physical abilities, wealth, and more in this collection. This truly felt like a representation for teens anywhere in the

2.5 stars rounded up.Short stories are always really tricky since the limited word count doesn’t allow a lot of space for an elaborate plot line. In Up All Night, I’d say about half of the stories were cute and well written and the other half of them were too random for me to care.But I appreciate the range of representations; the editor has definitely made an effort to balance the stories. There is one with a disabled m-spec MC and another with a gay boy, a few with Black MCs, non-binary SCs, s...

Up all night composes of thirteen different stories that tell about some of the adventures young adults do when their parents are away, and let’s admit it been there done that, right? Lol. Anyway, these have paranormal stories, family, friendship, adventure, prom, and even superheroes! Never have I ever, and Missing are my favorite; both are creepy and entertaining. The rest of the stories are delightful, and the characters are all likable. Ge your copy today!⁣

When I cracked the spine of my ARC I was delighted to be greeted by an author whose work I had enjoyed. The first story Never Have I Ever by Karen McManus rocked me with its ending. I thought to myself if the rest of the stories are this good then this is going to be a delicious treat. But there was a part of me that was nervous. I put the book down and paused, What if the other stories aren't this good? I needn't have worried. There was not one story in this collection I did not like.When I got...

Thank you Algonquin for an ARC of this book for an honest review. This anthology contains 13 stories that all take place overnight. It is also written by 13 different authors such as Tiffany D. Jackson and Kathleen Glasgow. I loved the variety of stories the book contained along from all different Genres. I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. A-

This anthology was okay. Not my favorite, but still pretty good overall. Some stories were a lot better than others. However, there was a TON of diversity and representation, and that's always cool to see.Never Have I Ever by Karen McManus - ☆☆.5 - This story was a lot shorter than the others, and there was a big plot twist that felt rushed, random, and very incomplete.Like Before by Maurene Goo - ☆☆ - This one was pretty sad and I wasn't a big fan of the storyline in general.Old Rifts and Snowd...

RTC on blog.Thank you to the publisher for sending me a review copy. I really enjoyed all the stories.

This was my first time reading an anthology and I loved every minute of it! On top of having the title of a classic One Direction song, this book also was an absolute blast to read. It had something for everyone with everything from mysteries to sappy romance.Truly, this book was a neverending joy. I loved that each story was so different, yet still so enjoyable. And most of them ended way too soon! Most of these short stories could have been made into a full-length novel and I would have loved

Up All Night , the YA short story collection edited by Laura Silverman, contains stories that take place between sunrise and sunset. (Literally, not metaphorically.)I recently read a collection of YA short stories called Blackout, which took place during a blackout, so when I saw Bookstagram friends reading one called Up All Night , how could I resist?The 13 stories in this collection all take place between late afternoon/early evening and sunrise. They’re a mixed bag—some are love stories

You can find the full review and all the fancy and/or randomness that accompanies it at It Starts at Midnight I mean, did you see this author lineup? Was there even a doubt that these stories would slay? In case there was, I am here to tell you that this collection absolutely lived up to (and exceeded) my expectations. Anthologies can be iffy, right? Some stories are hits, some are misses? Not so here! I enjoyed each and every story, which is kind of bananas for an anthology! I think that the se...

Thank you NetGalley and Algonquin Young Readers for the eARC for review!I'm no stranger to anthologies; I devoured My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories, Summer Days and Summer Nights: Twelve Love Stories and Meet Cute: Some People Are Destined to Meet, which were, for the most part, cute and fluffy and atmospheric. Up All Night: 13 Stories between Sunset and Sunrise is a fun addition to my anthology collection! Like all of these types of books, it had some stories I loved, some I didn...

This was such a fun read. I enjoyed each of the stories and appreciated how different each one of them was. There was a broad selection of topics from lighter to more seriously themed. The collection of stories are relatable to a variety of readers and I thought that was well done. I discovered new authors and revisited some of my favorites. I picked up the audio and the variety of narrators also lent so much to each individual story and I could hear the tone of each author in each story. I woul...

This was such a lovely little collection of YA short stories all set in the very early hours of the morning. I loved the diversity of both authors and characters as well as genres, from romcom to fantasy to even spooky ghost stories. I think there’s a story here for everyone.

Hi y'all! I'm so thrilled for readers to experience Up All Night! This anthology was an absolute joy to work on. Every single writer created magic on the page. I am so proud and grateful. These stories all hold a special place in my heart, and I hope they will find their way into your hearts as well.A TW for those reading ARCs - there is a Harry Potter reference in my story Creature Capture. This story was written before J.K. Rowling opened her transphobic mouth. As soon as she did, I requested

Up All Night is an anthology of different YA stories that take place from dusk to dawn. I like anthologies to seek out new authors but I usually find the stories are too short to really pull me in. Overall my favorites were by: Karen M McManus, Maureen Goo, Kayla Whaley and Tiffany D Jackson. Although I only had four stands outs out of thirteen I think there is enough diversity in plots (thrillers, romance, ghosts, family issues, superhero and friendships) and in characters (LBGQT, non-binary, P...
